Highly Successful Team Latest to Choose Sanctuary to Accelerate Growth through Enhanced Services, Technology and Investment Solutions
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sanctuary Wealth (Sanctuary), providing elite financial advisors the freedom, flexibility, control and choice to thrive in an evolving industry, welcomes Centel Wealth Advisory (Centel), a New Haven, Connecticut, practice with over $2.2 billion in individual client and institutional assets.
The firm is led by its Founders Stephen Fordyce, CFP, Robert Bowman, CFP and Sam DeGennaro. They are supported by Sue Lyon and John Giannattasio. Fordyce and Bowman will serve as managing partners, while DeGennaro has been named a managing director.
“After years of building a substantial practice as wirehouse employees, Steve and Sam took their first step toward independence a decade ago, leaving behind the conflicts often found at Wall Street institutions, and today embark upon the logical next evolution of their practice by taking full ownership of their business,” said Vince Fertitta, President, Wealth Management, Sanctuary Wealth. “Centel will benefit from the robust ultra-high-net-worth platform we built to address the needs of the 120 other partner firms that have launched similar businesses with Sanctuary. Our platform’s white-glove support, best-in-class infrastructure and integrated technology make it easier for advisors to serve sophisticated clients.”
A multigenerational practice that focuses on wealth advisory services and institutional plan management, Centel is a completely independent firm, offering its clients access to a comprehensive range of investment and advisory solutions.
Crucially, it values loyalty, partnership, integrity and the opportunity to make a difference. These values form the foundation of the firm’s culture, driving the decisions of its leadership team, strengthening the quality of its relationships with clients and motivating its team every day.
“The independent space has evolved tremendously since Sam and I left the wirehouse world a decade ago, creating greater opportunities and more options than ever before,” said Mr. Fordyce. “My partners and I decided the time was right to assume control and take our business to the next level by launching our own firm and affiliating with a strong partner to enhance the technology, investment solutions and service experience we offer our clients. We look forward to collaborating with the elite network of partner firms they have assembled.”
Adam Malamed, CEO of Sanctuary Wealth, said, “At Sanctuary, we’ve built a platform that continues to attract successful practices from across the wealth management industry. As we continue to grow, our increased scale allows us to invest in the tools, systems and resources to remain at the forefront of our evolving industry. We couldn’t be happier to welcome Centel Wealth Advisory as Sanctuary’s newest partner firm and look forward to working with them in the coming years as they expand their outstanding practice and grow the value of the asset they’ve worked so hard to build.”
